After 3 years of eluding police, Leonard Goodwin was spotted Sunday by the father of man he is accused of killing.

Goodwin is charged with murdering his step son 24-year-old Eric Robinson back in April of 2006.
   
Authorities found Robinson’s body underneath a home on Target Street in North Charleston, after he had been missing for four weeks.  Police say he was shot in the head and covered in lime to conceal the smell of his decaying body.

Robinson’s father Ronald Reid says he spotted Goodwin riding a bicycle while Reid and his girlfriend were driving home from church Sunday.  “I’ve been praying for God to bring him to light and I guess yesterday was my day,“ says Reid who told News 2 he would wake up in the middle of the night and drive around town looking for Goodwin.

“I’ve had his face seared in my mind,“ says Reid.  He says Goodwin, “must be a cold person to sleep in a house when you hid a body underneath.“  Goodwin denies the crime but told police he was aware he was wanted for murder.
   
When officers located Goodwin Sunday afternoon.  He gave them a fake i-d, but after some time, he admitted who he was.

Goodwin was denied bond on Monday morning. Reid says, “I’ll sleep at night when he’s locked in jail for the rest of his life and rots there.“
